Flood in Landerneau - 1

Dear Friends
as you know the end of the year 2013 was marked by the arrival on the Brittany (FR) of the cyclone Dirk: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclone_Dirk , which with its rains and its winds up to 130 Km/h caused severe damages in Morlaix:

and Quimperlé: http://www.francetvinfo.fr/meteo/tempete/tempete-dirk/video-des-villes-bretonnes-sinistrees-par-la-tempete-dirk-valls-parle-d-erreur-d-appreciation_491542.html .
Dirk did not touched severely Landerneau, where I was for the Christmas holidays, however the first day of the 2014, on the morning, the combination of the rains, strong winds and high tide cause the overlow of the river Élorn http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%89lorn and the invasion of the centre of the town by the water as you can see from the ollowing images. Luckily, despite to the relevant damages to properties, nobody was hurt.
Salutations
Giancarlo
